Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.

  2. In a large bowl, stir the mashed avocados, beaten eggs and lemon-flavor yogurt until smooth.

  3. Stir in the shredded Monterey Jack cheese, self-rising corn meal mix and fajita seasoning until just combined. Do not overmix.

  4. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.

  5. Bake for about 17 minutes, until golden on top, set in the center and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

  6. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then cut into squares and serve warm.
